I do not claim that what you said is not true, but once in |
| 8 |
the past, when I was young and dumb (now I'm old and dumb) |
| 9 |
I intentionally pulled out that 80-wire data-cable from one |
| 10 |
of my 2 ata-disks during heavy i/o-loading (copying files) |
| 11 |
just to see, if my raid-1 array (hda+hdc) survives it... |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Computer got crazy for ~20 seconds, spilled out a couple |
| 14 |
of screens with errors, but then resumed normal opperation |
| 15 |
and even finished copying files without any "hard-lock". |
| 16 |
Just marked that one disk as "failed" and went on. |
| 17 |
Maybe it was just a luck... |

But I think new s-ata (or scsi) drives support some sort |
| 20 |
of hot-plug, so even disconnecting should not lock the |
| 21 |
whole system... |
